Hallelujah!

At last!

All Covid restrictions will end on Thursday of this week and the free (not free at all) testing kits, except in a few specific circumstances, will end on April 1st; what an appropriate date!

Self-isolating if you test positive will no longer be mandatory, but it will be "advised" until April 1st.

Boris has finally said we have to live with Covid and treat it like flu.

What a shame he didn't say all this in the spring of 2020. We could have avoided two years of watching much of the population being scared witless... for flu, two years of the country being dragged into unprecedented debt... for flu, and two years of witnessing people die unnecessarily of other conditions because the NHS was too busy treating... the flu.

There's no reason why we couldn't have gone down this route in 2020... well, no reason other than the weakness and craven stupidity of the Govt.

We're expected to adopt a position of personal responsibility according to Boris - that almost made me choke on my digestive biscuit! Where the hell was his "personal responsibility" when he was having parties at No. 10 while we were all under lockdown?

Unsurprisingly, the workshy are already complaining about how dangerous it is to abandon the self-isolating rule - sadly for them they've just lost their cast-iron excuse for not turning up to work!

This was all announced on the same day as we were told over-75s and other vulnerable people will be eligible for their 4th vaccine in the Spring. Yep, people will be having another dose of the jab which didn't work the first three times! This is what constitutes living with Covid, it seems. You couldn't make it up.

We've had two years of Draconian restrictions and rules which almost brought the country to its knees. We and our children will be paying for the actions of Boris and his Govt for years to come; in some respects this country will never be the same again. For flu.
